Treme – a NOLA set of stories

A show we’ve been watching on HBO for a few years had its final episode in its final season. It’s Treme, on HBO, focused on the people, the music, and the tribulations of a neighborhood in New Orleans after Katrina.

It’s from the creators of The Wire, and has some similar themes (crumbling, ineffective bureaucracy, crime, good people in impossible situations) yet is more place driven and upbeat than I remember The Wire being.
